The strength of a man isn't  seen in the width of his shoulders.

It's seen in the width of his arms that encircle and protect you.

The strength of a man isn't  in the deep tone of his voice.

It is in the gentle words he whispers.

The strength of a man isn't  in the words he speaks.

It's in how he keeps his word.

The strength of a man isn't  how many buddies he has.

It's how good a buddy he is with children.

The stregth of a man isn't  in how respected he is at work.

It's in how he is respected at home.

The strength of a man isn't  in how hard he hits.

It's in how tender he touches.

The strength of a man isn't in the weight  he can lift.

It's in the burdens he can carry.

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
